  1. Kaliyev is interesting. Scores a ton of goals. A real offensive threat. I'm partial to Boldy myself, as I think he's exactly the type of player we need to play alongside Petey and Boes, but Kaliyev does have more offensive potential. I just wonder how well he would mesh with Petey and Boes. From the highlights I've seen, he scores quite a few of his goals from the same place that Petey scores, and I've read that he's rather one dimensional. Still, and intriguing player.
  2. I've being seeing a few Mark Stone comparisons. Sounds like exactly what we need to play with Petey and Boes.
  3. I'm not going to claim to know too much about him, other than what I've read and seen of him in the last 15 or so minutes, but I can't fathom that having too many guys that can handle the puck well on a line is a bad thing.
  4. My initial hope is that we land Boldy. He''d look real good playing with Pettersson and Boeser.
  5. I was confident last year when we had the 7th overall, as the 7th overall has historically been a very good place to pick. 10th overall tho? Yikes. Other than Rantanen....just wow.
  6. 10th overall picks from the last 10 years. 2018- Evan Bouchard 2017- Owen Tippet 2016- Tyson Jost 2015- Mikko Rantanen 2014- Nick Ritchie 2013- Valerie Nichushkin 2012- Slater Koekkoek 2011- Jonas Brodin 2010- Dylan McIlrath 2009- Magnus Paajarvi This doesn't leave me with a lot of hope.
  7. You seem pretty happy about being able to say "I told you so".

  10. He might be a good addition. My problem is with the idea of making a move for him. I'd prefer to either sign someone like Myers without having to cough up any assets or target someone that fits with our core age group a bit better if we go the trade route.
  11. Is this the thing that everyone is gonna start jumping to when people suggest that 5'6 and 150 lbs is smaller than they'd like?
  12. Not sold on drafting someone as small as Caufield with our 1st rd pick. Yes, I know skill > size and all that, but he's absolutely tiny, and we've already taken a couple of smallish guys with our last couple of 1st rd picks. Anders Lee might be a decent pickup as a free agent signing and I'd be totally game with putting a package together for Kapanen, but I don't know if making a deal for Faulk is the direction I'd go.
  13. Welp, that's the season. At least Petey seemed to find his mojo in the 3rd. Not just the goal, but he looked more active as well. More involved.
  14. Think Hughes, Stetcher, Boeser, Beagle, Pearson and of course Demko have been good today. Pettersson may actually be the worst forward on the ice. I've never seen him look this bad.
  15. Pettersson has completely lost his confidence. Barely noticed him out there. He was such a dynamic player early in the season. Now I see him standing still way too often.
  16. Leaf fans. It should be illegal for anybody that identifies as a Leafs fan to utter the words Vancouver or Canucks.
  17. I like the Orca. Will be sad to see it go if it does indeed go. Kinda indicative of this franchises inability to stick with any one particular design or theme. Just frivolous changes on top of frivolous changes.
  18. I'm gonna disagree with most people here and say that we should target one of the big ticket guys. Benning has spent his entire tenure targeting guys from the second and third groups, with not much to show for it. If we can land a legitimate star to augment our young core, I say go for it (assuming we can ship out some of the more redundant, expensive players salaries still on the books).
  19. Walk with Elias...

     

     

  20. So apparently you're allowed to just chuck your stick at a guy to stop them. Good to know.

      Toronto didn't step in to help either.

       

      Really garbage ruling.

  21. Tanev gonna Tanev.

  22. Motte has been a really great addition to the team. Sure, he'll never be a top 6 player, but not every player needs to be. He's a fast, gritty, hard working bottom 6 with some scoring ability, and I see him being a staple of our bottom 6 for a very long time.
